I started writing a new story today. I thought I’d try and tackle Katia backstory including the cult she was in and the Razor Incident. Should fun right? I was even going to make it NSFW, though not graphic.
I even did some Hammerfell research. But the more I wrote, the more I didn’t like it. It simply wasn’t entertaining. It just made me feel worse for Katia than ever. Of course there is no ‘canon’ for that period of her life, but as I wrote it I felt like it probably would be very close to canon – but I couldn’t continue and ended up deleting what I wrote.
Some things just really don’t need to be explored. It reminded me of the story Pet Semetary. I used to be a big Steven King fan and really liked the book. Then they made a movie of it. I came out of the movie thinking, “That was a very true-to-the-story movie. And I wish I’d never seen it.”
That’s kind of how the story was going. I’m afraid it probably was pretty accurate to whatever Kaz has in mind for her backstory, vague as that might be. But it’s not something fun to explore. I think I’ll do another Evil Quill Weave instead or something.
